Lost Your Lightroom Toolbar? Bring It Back with 1 Tap

I'm always losing my hubby.

How? Usually in the grocery store.

Thank goodness for cell phones! They make finding each other in a huge store so much easier than wandering the aisles, frustrated or panicked, when you can’t find the other person.

I had that same frustrated/panicked feeling the other day when my toolbar disappeared in Lightroom.

Wait, can it disappear?

Yes. Yes, it can.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to bring it back, so I’m sharing it with you in this post. You don’t know when it’ll vanish—like if your cat decides to take a stroll across your keyboard. 😺

The toolbar in Lightroom Classic is something I use daily—and you probably do too. It’s visible in both the Library Grid and the Develop module. Take a look below:

If it ever mysteriously disappears, don’t worry—it’s super easy to bring back.

Step 1

Simply tap the “T” on your keyboard. Tada!

If you decide you don’t need the toolbar for a while, you can hide it by tapping “T” again.

I think I did this by accident when my toolbar disappeared. (Or maybe Minnie, my cat, did when she wanted me to feed her.)

Has anything mysteriously disappeared on you in Lightroom? (Or not so mysteriously, ha!)

I got you covered with your toolbar, at least. 🙌🏻

Happy editing,
